Design Philosophy

Directly stated, it is my belief that my work is sculpture presented in the form of an interior with aspirations to be art. Rather than a signature look, I emphasize a signature approach: one that embraces the journey to give vision expression with clarity and purpose. Each project is conceived as a "couture design," beginning with an idea to be explored, which achieves realization through its evolution. It is most important (to me) that my designs challenge imaginations, not capture them. My work celebrates serene and cerebral design with a splash of ooh la la.

Professional Background

After pursuing academic interests, and studying with the noted sculptor Richard Stankiewicz, Mark Kleinberg received his MFA in sculpture. Subsequent to graduating, he became an accomplished set designer, which gave him the understanding of how people react in their surroundings. With a demand to expand his sights to interior design, he quickly amassed challenging projects. With this career switch, he designed an impressive number of residential lofts, fashion photography studios, offices for advertising production companies and homes around the New York metropolitan area. For the past ten years, Mark Kleinberg Designs has designed many large-scale residences in both New Jersey and Long Island, several with his involvement prior to the structure's construction.
